President Joe Biden suggested a reporter was crazy for asking if he would serve a full second term or turn over power to Vice President Kamala Harris.

In an electrifying campaign rally held Wednesday at Girard College in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris inaugurated the "Black Voters for Biden-Harris" initiative.

The event was charged with vibrant performances and enthusiastic support from schoolchildren, underlining the start of a significant endeavor mainly directed at reviving and bolstering support among black voters ahead of the upcoming presidential election.

Daily Mail reported that despite the festive atmosphere, the rally also highlighted some pressing concerns regarding the Democrats' hold on its critical black voter base, which has shown signs of waning since the last election.

The rally featured speeches and lively performances from local entertainers, including the 76ers' Sixers Stixers drum line and "Philly Elmo" from Positive Movement Entertainment. The aim was to kick off the campaign with a strong communal spirit, emphasizing the importance of every voter's voice.

President's Response to Election Term Inquiry

An unexpected moment arose when Biden responded to a reporter’s question about whether he intends to serve a full second term.

Biden retorted:

Are you OK? Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you? I said, are you OK? Did you fall on your head or something?

While evoking some laughter, this response did not specifically address the query regarding his potential full-term service, considering his age.

Despite these concerns, local attendees like Lisa Salley supported the Democratic leadership. "People are willing to allow Harris and Biden, or Biden and Harris, to continue that path that they're on and to build on the promises that they've kept already," Salley noted, illustrating a strong base of support that remains despite the challenges.

Vice President Harris Commands Warm Reception

Vice President Kamala Harris received an especially warm welcome from the attendees, particularly from the young students of Girard College, demonstrating her popularity within the community.

This warm reception underscored her crucial role in the Biden-Harris ticket, particularly in appealing to younger and diverse voter demographics.

Addressing the crowd, Harris stressed the pivotal role that black voters played in the 2020 victory and voiced strong conviction about repeating that success in the forthcoming 2024 elections through collective effort and voter mobilization.

"Philadelphia, in Joe Biden we have a fighter, a leader with skill, vision, determination, and compassion. A leader who keeps his promises," Harris articulated, ensuring the crowd of the administration's steadfast dedication to their constituents.

Biden Takes a Firm Stance Against Trump

Throughout his speech, President Biden delivered impassioned critiques against former President Donald Trump, highlighting negative impacts and lackluster responses during Trump’s tenure, particularly in matters concerning the black community and the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Black folks were hit harder than anyone else. He took responsibility for none of it," Biden declared, criticizing Trump's response to the pandemic that disproportionately affected the black community.

Biden also didn't hold back on his views regarding Trump's reaction to the racial justice protests that followed George Floyd's murder.

Biden's rhetoric grew sharper as he discussed the hypothetical reactions Trump might have had if the January 6 rioters were predominantly black, suggesting that the response might have been far harsher and void of any pardons.

The rally was strategic, acknowledging the need to significantly engage and energize a key demographic that might determine the election's outcome. Campaign officials are likely hopeful that the memories of the energetic rally, the music, and the heartfelt speeches will resonate with voters until the polls.
